Islamabad: In a major boost to Pakistan’s logistics and trade sector, the National Logistics Cell (NLC) has launched the country’s first-ever containerized shipping service for Gulf states. The initiative aims to strengthen regional trade links and provide a cost-effective solution for exporters.
According to NLC officials, the newly introduced service will facilitate the transportation of goods from Pakistan to major Gulf destinations, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Bahrain. This strategic move is expected to enhance trade efficiency by reducing transit times and providing a secure and reliable shipping network.
The launch of the containerized shipping service marks a significant milestone for Pakistan’s logistics industry, reducing dependency on foreign shipping companies and paving the way for enhanced trade partnerships with Gulf nations. NLC’s initiative is also expected to support local businesses by offering competitive shipping rates and streamlined cargo management.
Industry experts believe this development will boost Pakistan’s exports, particularly in key sectors such as textiles, agriculture, and manufacturing. The move aligns with the government’s vision of strengthening trade connectivity with regional and international markets.
With the introduction of this service, NLC continues to expand its footprint in the logistics sector, reinforcing its role as a key player in Pakistan’s economic development.
